Mom, honestly what could I do without you? I have no earthly idea. All the things you do for me are above and beyond what you could do.

You work two jobs to provide for our family. Which I know makes you tired, and I know it makes you sore. I wish I could take that burden off of you, but I promise one day, you won't have to do it. I promise that once I'm done with college and have the career I want, that you won't have to work so hard for very little.

You spoil me even when I don't deserve it. I'm your only child so of course I'm a little spoiled, but you still buy me things even when I don't deserve anything. Every time you go shopping for yourself, I somehow end up with something.

I know I don't say I love you as much as I should and that will change. You're my bestfriend. You're always there for me, even on the days I don't deserve it. Because of all you have done, I've become the almost woman I am today. From how I dress, to how I drive, you've influenced me in everything I do.

I can't stay thank you enough for all you do, Mom. For the constant love and support, to even our fights to show I'm not always right. I love you so much and couldn't imagine having anyone else as a mom.

As it gets closer to graduation and then eventually leaving college, I know you're getting nervous. Please don't worry, you raised me and taught me enough I'll be okay. Plus, I'll be home almost every weekend. The house will be a little quiet, and the what seems like daily trips to Walmart will be lonely, but I'll be only a hour and a half away.

I love you, and I hope I make you proud.
